I am a registered clinical social worker and I have had the pleasure of working with youth and families for over 20 years.

I am not accepting new clients until after November 15, 2024. I work exclusively with women navigating the challenges embedded in the second half of life. It is a stage of life that deserves our attention. As earlier roles, responsibilities, and identities change, or fall away, some women feel the sense of a "void". It's common for women at this stage to experience confusion, loneliness, fear, or anxiety. Who are we without our earlier conditioned identities? How do we learn to thrive with the changes, honoring and caring for ourselves as we go forward?

My various training includes EMDR, hypnotherapy, narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Behavioural therapy, Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness.
My goal is to work with clients to find hope and meaning in the challenges and the chaos that life presents us. I believe life is a journey to be travelled, not a destination to be reached. As such, life offers us lessons and learnings to be unravelled and transformed. At times we need another to help us make sense of what has been unfolding on the journey.

I work relationally and also have training in trauma, mindfulness and somatic work.
I work collaboratively and sensitively with whatever issues you feel ready to bring forward. This could include relationship challenges, emotional reactivity, difficulties getting needs met, conflict aversion, poor self-concept, anxiety, depression and trauma. We may spend time exploring the past, but our focus may also remain on present-day experiences. Such work can help you build self-understanding, self-compassion and emotional tolerance. It can help clarify thinking and enhance problem-solving. It is intuitive work – I believe we can start pretty much anywhere, in any session, and eventually get to where we need to go.

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
